Capcom to give out a free game everyday in 2013

If you are a fan of games that have come out of the factory at Capcom, or just fans of free stuff, then you are in luck. Capcom have today announced that they will be giving away one game every weekday…for the remainder of 2013
(Capcom, Industry)

here is what important "Today's raffle is 300 points per ticket, though that amount can change if we have something particularly cool or rare to give away." Last time I check a paid for RAFFLE ticket is not a a give away

@those who don't read the article: In this case "free" applies to anyone who's registered at their forum, is an active member who gets points for being so, and then spend said earned points on a daily raffle.

In other words, "free" is something you have to work for, with no real honest assurance of reward.

also they aren't making anyone work for anything if YOU want to got out of your way to earn a game from them the option is there, however they have a dedicated fanbase that goes on the forums everyday who will continue to do so and have a chance to win a game while they are at it

It would be different if they randomly picked active forum members, someone who'd posted within say 24 hours of the selection, but they want extra effort in addition to just being on the forum. And there there's an element of chance. Someone can and likely will sign up and post every day because of this announcement and wind up not getting anything.

It's bad enough Capcom try to rob you of your money, now they're trying to rob you of your time. I can imagine the Capcom forums becoming quite tiresome quickly. You go in, join a discussion and about RE6 or something, giving your reasons for you think the game is poor. "EHMERGERD RE6 WAS DA BEST GAME EVAH! YOU NOOB! GET OUT!" You get the idea,

I honestly don't get what the problem with the title is. Capcom ARE giving out games for free everyday, what does it matter if you have to be on their forums etc? You do something minimal to get something potentially for free, complaining about it is like saying everyone who loses a raffle at a fairground has been ripped off.

Also making people join and then get interacting in a forum is definably not a bad thing, yes it is obviously more biased towards existing members by why shouldn't it be? They are the big fans which Capcom are naturally appealing to with this promotion!

tl;dr THEY ARE giving out a game everyday, get over the title and enjoy the potential free stuff!

Besides, what's the point? It's a forum, and I've never found anything of value nor interest from Unity; not even SF vs Megaman, and I had to source that from a different website, because their own links didn't work.
